Was Queen Esther a person who lived or not? People are saying that it wasn't historical. Therefore it was a mistake that it was even canonized. So the Bible can't be trusted. That is the thread. I just can't except that God made a mistake when it say's, All Scripture was given for instruction, correction in righteousness. What advise do you give for a family argument?

I'm glad you made the point that your portrayal of Mary Magdalene was artistic license in your comic book. However, I can't help but think there are two reasons why you shouldn't have. 1: It isn't Scripture and perpetuating an idea which has become so popular (given the blasphemous movies & novels about Christ these days) doesn't help. 2. How would you feel if someone took that kind of artistic license with someone in your life, when telling your life story? I'm curious why the video is not available any longer. All the same, thanks for all you have done for me and my family! I saw this video right after it was first posted and have been thinking about it and your answer ever since.

What about a woman participating in a discussion of Biblical issues outside of church, say on an online forum or in a cafe? Is there something wrong with a woman expressing her views on a passage of scripture or point of doctrine outside a church setting? One point of clarification I would like.

I had been taught that many gifts have "ceased" yet when I read stories of missionaries like, "Bruchko: The Astonishing True Story of a 19-Year-Old American, His Capture by the Motilone Indians and His Adventures in Christianizing the Stone Age Tribe" by Bruce Olson & God's Smuggler I think if God can work in other countries and do such miracles, why not here? So I am thankful that you brought Scripture to light and also being a light so that the body of Christ can be encouraged and strengthened with God's truth from His Word. I wonder if in 2 Timothy 3:5 when it says to avoid those who "have a form of godliness but deny its power" that I have been one to not allow God to work, because I did not think to ask Him to do such great things. I have a brother-in-law with MS (multiple sklerosis) and my sister is due with their first baby very soon now. I very much want to see him healed, I am praying that God would send someone to heal him. To the glory of God!

I thought l once heard Michael teach the those that die in the wilderness according to our calendar were approximately 18.5years of age. l mentioned this at 21st birthday in a speech for my nephew and a women asked me afterwards does this mean that the Jewish calendar is out of sync with the moon and seasons. l tryed to reseach it on the net, but the explanations went well over my head. Can you shed a little light on this subject or at least refer me to a site that's written in layman's terms. Thanks, Ke. Not a comment, l wasn’t sure where to post a question.
